Philosophy

Social Responsibility

social responsibilityFair-trade issues and the rights of workers throughout the world have always been of deep concern to us. We believe a company must focus on more than profits and has an obligation, first and foremost, to be a good global citizen.

  • We were one of the earliest and most passionate voices against the trade of conflict diamonds from Africa.
  • Since 1999, we have sourced our natural colored gemstones from suppliers who can guarantee that the materials were mined, sourced, and cut using fair labor standards.
  • The company is actively engaged in the implementation of an international certification system to regulate the trade in conflict minerals.
